Dan D'Agostino Master Audio Systems' Eye Candy

Given Dan D'Agostino's products recent awards— Stereophile Joint Amplification Component of the 2013 for the original Momentum monoblock amplifier, and CES 2014 Innovations Design and Engineering awards for the Momentum preamp—it's no wonder everyone was buzzing around the new Momentum integrated amplifier ($45,000). Manufactured in—you're going to love this—Carefree, AZ, the Momentum integrated is a no-compromise design that includes the same preamp and stereo boards used in the Dan D'Agostino Master Audio Systems' separates.

It offers six balanced XLR inputs and bypassable tone controls, and delivers more than 200Wpc into 8 ohms and 400 into 4. It also draws less than 1W of power in standby mode, which is a very, very good thing. Although I couldn't listen to the baby, it was paired with Wilson Audio Duette 2 loudspeakers—significant because Wilson's Peter Mc Grath has raved to me about the combination of D'Agostino and Wilson.
